SEESESS————— — The What good is there in & balloon race, anyway, seeing that there is no opportunity to chirp about the brand of gasoline and lubricating oil used? What surprises us is that the presi- dential street namers do not choose to call one of them “Hoover street.” Congress faces a distressing situa- | | {that the liquor probably will result i a request by Great Britain to revamp her debt agreement 30 as to make possible a reparations agreement later. ‘What the nations are learning rather thoroughly is that modern war doesn’t pay, even to the victora At some future day—long in the fu- ture, by the way-=the German col- onles seized and divided by the Al- lies may possess substantial value from a financial standpoint; but for the present and immediately fu- ture generations the main result of the war will be heavy taxes bear- ing down upon the people. MICHAELSON'S ACQUITTAL Congressman Michaelson, who voted for ihe Jones law, = doubt is & very happy man ‘following his acquittal in Key West on a charge of having brought liquor into the country from Havana. His brother- in-law, however, one Walter Gramm of Chicago, who takes all the blame, is not so happy. Indeed, federal authorities call him “the fall guy” in the case, which is a person will- ing to take the blame in order to help a friend. Maybe they are right and perhaps they are wron way, he is the one to be prosecuted now that the Illinois congressman smilingly wends his way. It still remains a fact, apparently, was being trans. ported in a trunk at Jackson ville through *‘courtesy of the port" granted the congressman. It appears ‘also that the congressman was do- ing his brother-in-law a favor in bringing about this “courtesy of the tion: Hot weather in Washington is Port.” which is nothing nice for a just around the corner and the de- bate upon the tariff bill threatens to * last all summer. When a congress- man is forced to “work” in the, summer in Washington he not only carns his salary, but is entitled to e i bonus. After having had 19 revolutions in 19 years, Mexico is optimistic over | the religious issue. That sounds like | evolution. THE WAR DLEBTS LOOM tepresentatives of the Allied na- tions attempting to rearrange the reparations payments, have not shown a disposition to regard their war debts to the United States as entirely out of the picture. The American representatives headed by | Owen W. Young, have taken care to regard them as entirely separate. Approaching the discussions from these epposing viewpoiuts, it has been natural that disagreement en- sued. The Young plan, unquestion- from the standpoint of %l finance esclusive of Sthe war'dabts to America, turns | “into & hideous affair to the Allied | “natiens when coupled with their war debts. In short, the Allied na- t fions would receive less from Ger- many than they would have to pay ‘to the United States if and when all | the war debts to the United States are ratified. Great Britain, who has ratified and has aiready begun to pay her debts to America, finds her- sclf bereft of an income from rep- arations under the Young plan which seriously increases her tax re- quirements If the plan is generally accepted and ratified. Naturally British citizens of all shades of liquor in the future, should {in this state there jdry congressman to do. Our chief comment is that the whole case was one of hard luck. Had the trunk not leaked—had somebody not handled the trunk so roughly as to cause its contents to spill—nobody would ever have been the wiser, except Messrs, Michaelson and Gramm. Congressmen. when they bring | mark | their trunks, in large lettering, Up. THE BLUE SKY LAW For many years Connecticut fail- ed to follow in the footsteps of sis- ter states which had effective blue sky laws upon the statute books. When the subject was brought up invarinbly were Zeod arguments found to oppose a good fraud Caveat emptor was not exactly the guiding post or the slogan, but it had much to do with the Connecticut feeling. Then, oo, there was a disposition not to hamstring the legitimate business of the stock and bond houses, which looked with disfavor upon legisla- tion of this order, amacking too much of interference with busineas. But it had to come. Such law as the atate had was found fn- adequate to safeguard the public, as came to light in the Watkins case. That financial eruption was suf- ficiently detrimental to the invest- ment business to force everyone, in- cluding the Investment brokers, to decide that better safeguards were ncessary. As a consequence Con- necticut at last finds itself follow- ing the other states which have blue sky laws, although the law. Nutmeg opinion are strongly opposed to the | Statute differs in some particulars from most of the others. It may be Young plan.

There are those who say had B hhts 1o Asborica. {the Jaw been in existence before the Watkina affair started the latter would never have gained sufficient headway to “sting” many worthy citizens who proved easy bait. In theory the American plan to consider the war debts separately from reparations is sound—at least, to Americans. But not not to Luro- peans. It seems utterly impossible ' to induce a Frenchman or a British- er to understand that if they are to receive less from Germany on the American “capacity to pay” system, difficult to con- that Ame to America. It is _ vince the European also has endeavored capacity to pay principle to her former associates in the war. That may be all right in theory, the asso- to apply the ciates in war say. but if our cgpacity to pay happens to be better than the German capacity to pay. pays the most bills? The Allies who won the war, of and not 2 Germany. Even if there is all-around agree- ment that the sums Germany are to the lithit who . . ' [ . ~ course , exacted from her capacity to pay, these sums do not of necesearily balance the debts of the | Allies owing to America. This is a plain matter of figures, Mr Young and his colleagues have them. To the European there is only one way out of tke financial passe, and that is a substanti duction in what America manding of her former war associ- atcs. Mr. Young. cabling to Wash- ington, is said to have made this in- formal suggestion. If the reparations conference fails this qu tain to become something for the and im- re- is de- on is cer- Hoover administration to wrestls with, It would result, in all probability, that Mellon-Ber- cnger debt agreement with France would mot be ratified by the French that reparations the pariament—a possibility is likely even should the conference not fail—ani also that they should not also pay less | | i CONDITIONING AUTO BRAKE To operate an automobile with defective brakes ought to be more Isevercly punished than at present. Some and to the autoiste, careless | thoughtless, pay no attention !their brakes in order to save cost of conditioning them. The ma- jority. we believe, are worthy mo- torists who consistently give thelr brakes proper attention, | An automobile with poor is such a menace the high- g the state more upon ways that it is surpris and city authorities diligent in ferreting | accidents occur, | wards, are not hem out before rothe r than after The proper procedure would be a state rule, or city rule—we do not care which so long as it works — forcing every auioist his brakes have stated possibly six | months, This would be considerably | cheaper than bring found guilty of 10 show that been examined at intervals every maiming pedestrians or paying for And ongiderable | damages due to collisions. likewise would be a step in the direction of more safety upon the highways, BEING A CONSTARL | | The average man's idea of con- stable is somebody who wears a sil- ver badge in a conspicuous place d shows a tendency to make an high- way on a charge of improperly op- arrest along some country erating an automolil is epitomized by the widcly known to Llm- 1o constable e of a sig onne !-rakl‘s‘ | it All of which | with & stop-watch and firearms in|drawn up a petition requesting the hiding behind the sign. Constable Fred Winkle of this city is net that kind of an officlal. If he had been one of this sort dur. ing his 25 years “on the job™ pro- fessional and business men of this city would not have seen fit to pro- vide & banquet in his honer and present him with a gold watch in token of their esteem. S8uch honors only come to constables with a heart. Constable Winkle has gone so far as to pay the fines of “poor unfor- instead of being a hard- faced minion of the law he has functioned somewhat as a good Safaritan. And when circumstances were such as not making it possible to avoid the sad features of the job the constable has been charitable, sympathetic and warm-hearted. Per- haps, as he has done his duty, he frequently gave kind advice “uch as lawyers usually chuige tor. We heartily join in wishing Mr. Winkle well. He is the model con- stable of Connecticut. |DOWNTOWN PARKING, AGAIN As a general thing, Chairman Bannon of the police commission- ers says, he does not favor the total elimination of downtown parking, las such an arrangement would not be good for business. One infers from this, however, that a certain mount of parking elimination fs not deemed bad for business, which indicates the plan for thé summer will be the compromise which we have known for some years past. Elimination of parking certainly is bad for the business of mer- chants; so is unregulated parking. Perhaps it & tossup which is the worse. Certainly the motor shopper who cannot find & place to park near where she wishes to shop is not likely to be a satisfied customer; lindeed, she is not likely to a customer at all. And it makes little practical difference whether inabil- ity to find parking space s due to no-parking signs or parked cars. Conditions; being what they are, it would be interesting to discover just what percéntage of shoppers | come in cars. | be CROSSWALE MARKLERS The day of the painted wualks in New Britain seem to be over. Such of the city's painters who | cross- white crosswalks on the pavements seem to be out of a job or are other- wise employed. We have gone in for a more artistic method; one which, once down, stays put. This, of course, refers to the inetal discs which are being used to indicate where pedestrians are sup- posed to crosa the downtown streets. This doesn’t mean the pedestrians always cross where the discs say they should croes, but the discs go down all the sarhe. Approximately 1,000 additional Hall reports; and they cost 50 cents each. The only trouble with the discs is they cannot be seen very readily, especially by pedestrians in a hurry. i | | 1 STATE'S TRAFFIC LAW The uniform traffic passed by the Legislature and signed by the |governor is said to give complete powers over applying its uniform features to the police departments of the cities. The state law, in other law constabulary, and there ) to be less or no refercnce made to the com- nion councils in future so far tratfic regulations are concerned. The local police departments in all the cities and towns are “study- ing” the new state regulations. We may soon discover that some of the ;lhings we have been doing are all wrong, and that it will be necessary to learn another set of rules. | Uniformity of traffic rules in all the cities, however, is unquestion- {ubly desirable. It hus been disagree- lable to discover that when ina | strange town or city trafiic regula- tions were tar different than-on the {home lot. For a long time motorists have struggled for uniformity. Now they will have it. The satisfying thing about it is that when new rules and regulations go into effect one's dis- comfiture will be assuaged by the {kinowledge that the same rules are going into effect in other | place in the be | something gained. every e, which will It is said that Connecticut is the {first state fn the Union with a uni- | form traffic law.
